Today’s question is from Nico about creating Amazon listings in other countries.
Hey man,
quick question for ya.
I’ve been selling in the dot com for a while and I’m thinking of selling in Canada now.
Whats the easiest way to re-create all my listings again?
What tips do you have for selling in Canada?
Hey Nico I have some good news and some bad news for you.
First off, thanks for the question and for the FB add.
The good news is you don’t need to copy and paste or even type your full listings.
The North American platform shares the same Amazon catalog, so when you enter the UPC or the Asin number the previous listing will populate.
Now there is something weird about this… before you get asked if you want to use the existing listing you will have to enter a couple mandatory lines into a new listing.
Another good thing is that you are allowed twice as many characters for the same product because Canada is bilingual and they have to give you the option to enter you copy in french too.
But Canada market is only 10% of the size of the US.
Also, you need to have labels in English and French when selling on FBA Canada and the measurements need to be metric!
Hope that helps and good luck
